Pat Martino
It's another good week in St. Louis for jazz guitar fans, as Russ Freeman brings the smooth jazz sounds of the Rippingtons to the Pageant tonight, while Pat Martino will continue Jazz at the Bistro's "Summer Jazz Spectacular" with two performances each Friday and Saturday nights. (I wrote a short piece last year about Martino for the Riverfront Times that's still relevant, and you can find it here.)
Elsewhere, Sandy Weltman will put his virtuoso chops on banjo and harmonica to work on a whole bunch of musical styles, including jazz, for an outdoor concert tonight at the Missouri Botanical Garden's Whitaker Music Festival. And there are still two free concerts left (tonight and tomorrow) in the series of performances by faculty members of Webster University's summer jazz camp.
Fans of traditional jazz may enjoy the Buffalo Ridge Jazz Band, which comes to town Sunday for a matinee at the Moolah Shrine Center sponsored by the Saint Louis Jazz Club. And there are plenty of St. Louis based performers in action this week, too - check out the St. Louis Jazz Notes calendar for the details.
As always, if you're a musician, band or venue who would like to have your concert or gig listed in the calendar (and consdered for the weekly highlights post), email your information to me at stljazznotes at yahoo dot com.
